There are six main administrative districts of Israel, known in Hebrew as mehozot (מחוזות; singular: mahoz) and fifteen sub-districts known as nafot (נפות; singular: nafa). For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Israel topics. Each sub-district is further divided into natural regions, of which there are 50.
The Golan sub-district, which contains 4 natural regions, is included in this amount, although it is not recognized by the UN to be Israeli territory. The Judea and Samaria Area, however, is not included, since Israel has not fully applied its jurisdiction there.
